There were noticeably more pedestrians on the street, including many people speaking with accents from other places, tourists, and many people from other places who came to this bustling city to make a living.
A couple with the cutest height difference strolled side by side through the crowd.
As they walked, the phone in Shiguang's pocket rang.
"Go ahead and do what you need to do, you don't need to stay with me," Lin Momo said, turning to the side. She then took two steps forward, tactfully creating a small distance between them.
Shi Guang smiled helplessly and casually answered the phone: "What is it?"
"Shiguang, what's wrong with you? She's been back for two days, why don't you bring her over here right now? If you're busy, I'll drive over and pick her up myself." This person was the antique dealer who was extremely interested in the copper coins in Lin Momo's hand.
Previously, he called Shiguang every day, urging him to bring the person back as soon as possible.
This time, we finally got to see him in Haishi, but that kid Time messed things up again, dawdling and dragging his feet. I don't know what he's up to, but he's been waiting and waiting, and I'm almost ready to go and wait for him at his door.
Offering such a high purchase price, yet the seller has yet to show up. If it weren't for knowing that Shi Guang was the middleman in this deal, his old man would have angrily questioned him: "Is your friend reliable at all?"
Or perhaps he simply obtained the two photos from somewhere and was just teasing him.
Who knows how much pain he's really going through?
He always leaves early and returns late, avoiding his father.
Shi Guang raised an eyebrow: "I just asked, and she has nearly a hundred of those copper coins. Can you handle that? If not, say so now, and I'll find her another buyer right away."
"Hey! Dude, you're underestimating me, aren't you? As long as they're real, I can handle two or three hundred, let alone nearly a hundred." Provoked by Shi Guang's words, this guy jumped three feet high.
Who are you underestimating?
His dad makes money like it's nothing, how could his family be short of money?
That's not even enough for him to squander for a few days.
"Then you should prepare the money first. Tomorrow... how about tomorrow afternoon? I'll bring the person over for you, okay?"
Unsure if Lin Momo would be able to get up in the morning, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to schedule their meeting for the afternoon.
"You little brat, you better keep your word! Money is no problem, it's just five million, when have I ever lacked that little bit of money?" This person's tone was extremely arrogant, behaving like a spoiled brat.
"That's good, I'm hanging up now!"
Both sides were quite satisfied with the result.
After putting away his phone, Shi Guang hurried to catch up with Lin Momo, who was walking slowly ahead, and said gently, "Is your stomach feeling better now? Let's get in the car."
Lin Momo looked up at him curiously: "Where are we going? Back to the hotel?"
“No. More than half the people in the country are traveling now. Don’t you want to explore the city properly? I can take you to buy a couple of outfits while we’re at it.” Shi Guang smiled and gently flicked her small nose before explaining, “I just made an appointment with my friend to go over and make the deal tomorrow afternoon.”
"I brought clothes!" Lin Momo quickly reminded him.
Is she planning to dress her up according to her own preferences?
They haven't even officially started dating yet, so why is he buying her clothes out of the blue?
Besides, she was there to sell things, not to attend some high-end banquet. Was it necessary for her to dress so glamorously?
Are they trying to blind someone with their eyes?
Little did they know, Shi Guang was actually planning this all along.
"I know you brought some. What girl ever thinks she has too many clothes? Isn't it said that a girl's wardrobe can never have enough clothes?"
"You seem to know quite a lot."
Shi Guang solemnly tried to teach her, "You must have heard the saying, 'Respect the clothes before the person.' Tomorrow we're discussing a multi-million dollar deal. If you dress too modestly, you'll lose the battle of presence from the start."
Business people often have a keen eye for wealth and status, subconsciously judging a customer's identity and position based on their attire, and then tailoring their service accordingly.
After looking Lin Momo up and down for a moment, he continued, "Your fashion sense is not bad, but it's too casual. Given your age, you're easily looked down upon, which can lead to you suffering losses during negotiations."
This statement makes perfect sense.
But it was just an excuse that Shi Guang used to persuade Lin Momo to go shopping for clothes with him.
With such a powerful figure by her side, who would dare to underestimate Lin Momo, let alone fool her?
Sure enough, Lin Momo unknowingly fell into his trap again: "Hmm, what you said seems to make a lot of sense. Rich people really understand rich people. I'll listen to you then. But, I'll have to trouble you again. Once the money from selling the copper coins arrives, I'll transfer it to you along with the hospital fees you paid for me last time."
At this point, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked him, "Oh, how much did it cost to repair your car? I'll reimburse you for it later."
"You've already spent all the money before it even arrived in your account?" Shi Guang couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Momo laughed along, "Isn't this what we should do? Isn't it good enough to give you money?"
Although she was quite heartbroken, she also felt great about being debt-free.
"My car is insured, and the insurance company paid for the repairs."
"Oh, I see. That's good." Lin Momo was quite happy that it saved her some money, which meant she could buy more supplies.
But she couldn't just accept it without a second thought. She had caused someone a car accident for no reason, and the person had generously said they didn't need her to pay for the repairs. Lin Momo should at least show some appreciation.
Then let's prepare a thank-you gift for him before he leaves.
Okay, it's decided then!
Shi Guang continued to argue with her point by point: "Didn't I already tell you about the hospital fees? I told you not to worry about it. As for the money for clothes, isn't it only natural to spend some money on your girlfriend?"
Lin Momo was speechless.
I really want to say, do you know how many people you're slapping in the face by saying that?
Wait, when did she agree to be his girlfriend?
How come she doesn't remember... such a thing?
"But isn't it only right to pay back debts?" Lin Momo argued, finally wrinkling her nose and meeting his gaze seriously, "Also, you and I are just friends, okay? Don't try to change the subject!"
She amused Time.
Although Lin Momo ruthlessly exposed his attempt to confuse the truth, the statement "You and I are still just friends" implies that their relationship could very well progress from friends to lovers.
Success is in sight; it seems he still needs to work harder.
